Cool!!! The Nagra machines are just works of art...

Dan I posted another thread asking about this mic, the Behri T-47, and ART new series of LDC's. I know most have a biased view of these brands but a friend here in Vegas has got T-47 and says it's a steal for the price. I'm trying to arrange for him to come over with it or to go visit him so I...

Relics are lame... I personally think the whole Relic thing is lame. But as said before, they sell like crazy and a good 70% of the Custom Shop guitars are offered in the Relic finish. They outsell the NOS's all the time, which to me is crazy. It almost feels like cheating to me. It's like...

Plain black woven Ernie Ball strap with Dunlop strap locks attached.

After seeing the last few threads about headphones, it made me think about Beyerdynamic DT 100's. Anyone own and use them in your home studio? I've been using Sony MDR7506's forever but I've read that the Beyer's are really great for tracking and checking mixes as they don't color or hype...

To me, the standards we all hear about: NS-10's, U87's, LA-2A's and the SM57,etc... are just what has worked for most people. They aren't necessarily going to work for all of us and all of our different ears and tastes. I love what the 57's do on snare drums, and for me, on my Strat/Bassman rig...

I love Tascam stuff! The manuals, brochures, and packaging all have a charm and cool factor that makes me get goose bumps. Must have been all those days as a kid looking at the gear ads and catalog pics. Thanks for posting this Ghost. The 388 was a classic and seeing the full handout was great...

In a home studio environment, EQ has to be essential. No matter the sound/acoustic measures taken, a bedroom or a space shared with your studio will need to be compensated for eventually. And EQ is also the most useful "effect" as well; it can be used creatively, not just to help a deficient...

I love Sony MDR7506's. I used them from jump street so I know how they sound. I've gone through a few pairs from using them so much and sweating the ear cushions out during long, hot sessions. But they're great.

Less is more...especially with drums! I've been playing drums for 20 years (God, that's sad...), and after years of gear lust and double kick excursions I've learned that the groove is IT. In the my demo studio I mic the kick, snare, an overhead for the cymbals and mix it to mono. If there's a...

I've always used outboard preamps with my Tascam PortaStudios. I patch them in through the 1/4" input and turn the mixers trim all the way down and keep the channel fader low as well (between 3 and 6), making sure the preamp out is as hot as possible without causing problems at the mixer. Like...

To me, PRS guitars are extremely over-rated and even more over-priced. On the models that have wrap-around tail pieces and non-adjusting bridges, the intonation is lousy. The bridges with movable saddles are usually paired with tremelos...these things don't stay in tune very well. I played a...

I gotta agree with Drew about the Dava Control picks. I had a couple and the solid color versions were better than the later dual color versions which just seemed flimsy to me. I've never really found a "gimmick" pick I like. The Star picks (picks with a star hole in the middle) felt really...

I've got a friend who bought a Behringer T-47 Tube Condenser from BSW and he's been going on and on about how nice it is. I hadn't heard of it, I thought the Behri's were just confined to the under $100 LDC from China market. Even though it's Chinese and under $200, anyone else heard anything...

Box it up and take it with you bro. Stash it under your bed in the new place and in 10 years you'll be able to sell it for thousands...Hell there are 388 die hards that will probably pay a grand now for it if you really do some digging and advertise on the recording sites/forums...Either way...

Tascam DA-30mkII Tascam CD-RW900 Digitech Studio Quad V2 Behringer Autocom ART Dual MP ART CS2 Compressor ART FXR

Where's ART? Sorry for bumping up all these old threads but it's been great going through all the old stuff on the board. From the poll choices, I went with Behringer, I've had an Autocom Compressor and it has held up great. Yeah, no one will mistake the sound for a LA-2A; but it's durable and...

MD's for samples I've used MD's a lot for gathering snippets of stuff for samples (effects, single drum hits, etc...) They sound quality is great for this type of thing, and the onboard editing is great. I almost bought a Yamaha MD8 but the lack of a good source for MD Data discs turned me...

That's cool JJ! The 2516 is such a cool piece of Tascam history; a really nice mixer. I'm content knowing the limitations of the DP-02 can be overcome by some simple ingenuity. I just really like some of the tracks I've done on the 488mkII (drums and bass mainly), mainly because of the analog...

I use acoustic drums mainly but if a song calls for it or I'm experimenting, loops and samples have worked well. There is nothing like a real cymbal though. I've used kick and snare samples to craft a beat but I always add real hi-hat and cymbals. This kit is my recording set; Groove Percussion...
